Campaign Priorities

The Four Pillars

Transparency

(click to open)

• Clear, plain-language information about assessments, common exemptions, and key deadlines.
• Better communication about what to expect when residents request reviews or corrections.
• Office performance reporting the public can understand (timelines, responsiveness, and progress over time).
• Improved online access to information while protecting privacy.

For example:

• Clear “start here” guidance for homeowners and small businesses.
• Better explanations for “why did my value change?” and “what can I do now?”
• More consistent updates so residents aren’t left guessing.

Integrity

(click to open)

• Accurate, consistent, evidence-based assessments across neighborhoods and property types.
• Strong internal quality standards to catch errors earlier.
• Training and professional standards that support ethical decision-making.
• Clear separation between informal review help and the independent appeals process.

Notes

Plain talk: the job is not to raise values or lower values. The job is to get them right.

Efficiency

(click to open)

• Reduce avoidable delays by improving workflows and internal coordination.
• Use data to focus on high-impact work and improve planning.
• Work closely with other county offices so residents get faster, clearer answers.

Notes

Cost control commitment: the key question isn’t ‘How do we cut?’ It’s ‘How do we prevent costs from increasing drastically year over year?’

Any efficiencies found should be reinvested into improving service and responsibly modernizing the systems the office depends on.

Service

(click to open)

• Make it easier to reach help and get clear next steps.
• Improve follow-through so cases don’t fall through the cracks.
• Provide plain-language support for seniors, veterans, homeowners, renters navigating ownership changes, and small businesses.

Notes

Seniors and veterans: promote and help residents access property tax relief programs and exemptions they qualify for.

Make the process easier to understand, with clearer guidance and better support.
